BioAtla, Inc.

Issued one share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock to CEO Jay Short for $0.01, granting vote power equal to outstanding common shares on reverse split proposals.
At Jan 12, 2026 special meeting, reverse stock split proposal failed to reach required two-thirds vote; meeting adjourned to Jan 26 for additional proxy solicitation.
Over 70% of proxies received were FOR the reverse split, but insufficient to meet two-thirds of outstanding voting power.
